Because, it truly is the "little things in life" that gets to one. (Whether in size or stature.)

Check out the Eels Flyswatter. Bonus: turn up the subwoofer to 11 and cause a seismic event.

A classic and historic weapon-- six million were made, the Soviets equipped entire divisions with it, and it was one of the few captured weapons the Nazis made extensive use of.

They were designed and built in Leningrad, while they were completely surrounded by the Nazis.
The other shoe was that the Russians gave em away like candy to N. Korea other combloc countries even N. Vietnam.

The Ppsh-41 was NOT designed in Leningrad while surrounded. You are thinking of the Ppsh-43 which used extensive stamped and spot welded parts. The '41 was based on the Finnish Suomi SMG that the Russians faced in the "Winter War" prior to the the outbreak of hostilities with Nazi Germany.

The Soviets never equipped whole divisions or even whole regiments with the PPSh. The Wikipedia entry is plain wrong.

The standard weapon for the Russian regular infantryman was always the 7.62mm Mosin-Nagant rifle or carbine.

The PPSh was normally deployed to special submachine gun battalions, about 250 armed men ( sometimes women ) and to tank desant troops.

The normal garden type variety Russian grunt was always issued the Mosin-Nagant, not the PPSh.
